About

IBM PowerVC is an OpenStack-based virtualization management solution designed to simplify the deployment and management of virtual machines across IBM Power Systems running AIX, IBM i, and Linux. It offers rapid deployment capabilities, reducing time-to-value through straightforward installation and configuration processes. The intuitive user interface minimizes the need for specialized training, enhancing administrator productivity. PowerVC facilitates efficient resource utilization by enabling resource pooling and implementing placement policies, thereby optimizing IT costs. The Dynamic Resource Optimizer (DRO) provides policy-based automation for active workload balancing within host groups, ensuring optimal performance. VM templates support consistency and standardization, streamlining deployments and reducing labor costs. Key features include automated I/O configuration for mobility and high availability, and seamless import and deployment of workload images.

About

KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc. KVM is open source software. The kernel component of KVM is included in mainline Linux, as of 2.6.20. The userspace component of KVM is included in mainline QEMU, as of 1.3.
